[Theme] Magnolia Rom Theme and Mods - Inverted Apps[Updated 04/11/2011]

[Devildog8791]

I think perhaps Im using the wrong terms. When you drag the top notification bar down there are status icons there for GPS, Wifi, ringer, screen brightness etc. I want those to go adios.

I get what you're saying now. I don't know how to get rid of those and I see you were asking the same thing on Steve's thread. He would have to answer that one. Sorry.

That's a feature of the ROM, the JsiSurf's pull down widgets. I'm not sure, but I think that the widget relies upon a text file (called widget.txt) I'm wondering --- and I'm not willing to experiment because, frankly, I *like* that feature and had modded my last ROM (Virtuous) to get that feature --- but if you delete that file (or at least rename it to widgets.old) would the pull down feature stop working for you?

I suggest you read the Magnolia thread OP, see the specific name of the developer ('cause I may have mangled it) and go to his thread to check the info about the widgets.txt file if you are tempted to experiment.

I can tell you that changing that file doesn't require flashing, but you may need to reboot after you change it.

I followed a tutorial I found here. I was able to use a bar delimited text file and push it via adb to the ROM, but the file requires atleast the bars. With the bars and no toggles to call on it just leaves a blank area the size of the icons with nothing in it. Deleting it would just revert back to the stock bar.

Steve is working on the update now. He is redoing his first three posts and then he will release it. He should have a changelog when he releases it to tell us what is different in 1.3.2.

DevilDog, do you have any plans to create a BnB keyboard (similar to the dialer)? If not, are other keyboards compatible?

I am working on a keybord, but I have some other projects going right now. Some are Android projects and some are real world projects. I'll try and get one up soon.

Does the B&B theme work with Mag 1.3.2? I applied the theme but I still have the colored bubbles wallpaper. All these add ons are a bit confusing to me but I installed, in order:
- Magnolia 1.3.2 (then rebooted and desensitized)
- Evo-Camera
- BnBSense-Magnolia-1.3-Desensitized (then rebooted, still bubble wallpaper)
- Circle_Battery_Green
- Lockscreens-ColorNotif-ColorMenus


For that matter, I still have the blue circle battery, not the Green that I flashed. I can live with that but I really miss the black background.

Flashing the BnB theme will not change the wallpaper. You will need to change that yourself. If you flash the green battery mod, you will lose some of the BnB theme because I don't have that themed.

Okay, I got it back anyways after a Titanium BU restore. I thought wallpapers were part of a theme. I must be confusing it with a Windows theme.

Thanks for your work. This is a great theme.

Thanks for the compliment. I'm glad you're liking the theme.

Spark 360 App

Are there any gamers out there that have purchased the Spark 360 app? If so, PM me and I will give you a link to the BnB themed app as soon as I get it done.

Hey Devildog, I just installed the BnB theme, BnB lockscreens, BnB Red Themed Dialer and the Black Face Clock Widget. Is there a reason I'm getting the Disable FDN and try again scroll on the lockscreen password and where is the lockscreen change app? I was looking for the rotary and quick unlock features, but there's no app in my list.


Nevermind, needed to refresh the app list, but the FDN issue is still running. The lockscreen settings only have the ability to change the music controls and rotary/slider, is there a way to add the other options that are normally in the package that I'm not seeing?

The "FDN" problem is just the phone displaying that before it connects to the network. Mine does the same thing, but it has never posed a problem.

Do you see the option for showing the messaging and phone options? If that is not checked, you will not have the option. Select that and you will get the phone and messaging tabs.

I do, but there are typically more options, like a center button for the rotary and the quick unlock settings which aren't there. A quick reflash of the package and the FDN problem went away.

DevilDog, just want to report that using CWM 2.5.1.8 I've now successfully flashed Magnolia 1.3.2, Chad's incredikernel, Black and Bold and BnB Lockscreens without a hitch.

One thing you might want to mention in OP is that the boot time after the lockscreen mod is really long. Thought I was in a loop (because I have a very long animation, the amazing Stargate), but waited it out and she booted just fine.

Only artefact is that theme undoes 1.3.2's 5-icon width appdrawer. A small price to pay. Looking good in Black 'n Bold here.

You're right about the 5 column app drawer. I didn't update the theme because Steve said that the only changes were to the Rosie mods. I guess we both forgot that 1.3.2 includes a 5 column app drawer.

I'll get the Rosie mods and the theme updated this weekend.

Theme downgrading Appfolders?

Devildog8791, is there something in this theme that touches Appfolders? Immediatly after installing the B&B theme my Appfolders is downgraded from 1.5 to 1.1.1. Here is what I'm seeing:

- Flash 1.32
-- check appfolders is at 1.5
-- desensitize and reboot
-- check appfolders still at 1.5
- Reboot and install B&B
-- check appfolders and it now is at 1.1.1

Edit:
I see appfolders.apk in the zip. I replaced it with the new appfolders, rezipped and reflashed. Now all is good.

You're right, I need to update the App Folders in the theme. I am going to get that done this weekend (if not earlier).

DevilDog, it seems once you flash the lockscreens, there's no turning back. Reflashing the theme over the lockscreens produces bootloops. Once you make the appfolders patch to Black and Bold, do I have to return to vanilla Magnolia 1.3.2 and start the process over?
